This is my... third? attempt at making a fun little combat arena. It's a fairly basic gauntlet with a few waves of enemies; I've tried to work out a pacing that doesn't overwhelm and doesn't bore.

My experience playing it is a little biased of course, since I know what's coming, so I'd be grateful for feedback on how well-balanced or not it is.

Enjoy!

(Edit: updated because the ending wouldn't trigger right)

Just gave the level a try and it was a cool experience. I liked the various enemy types, the different entry points for them, as well as the friendly AI that came in. The environmental hazards added a nice challenge when navigating the map. One thing to maybe make the map a little more interesting to play in is having some sort of structure in the middle. Something to block off enemies from directly jumping/shooting at you. Maybe you can climb up it? A few more cover pieces for the combine soldiers to hide behind (or me) would have been nice too! Good job, keep it up!

Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't come up with any reasonable objects to put in the centre of the plaza and by that I was too far along to change the theme (that's why you dev texture first, past me!) so the cover is a little lacking, I admit.
